New TV shows started back last night, and I missed it :( I still have some kinks to work out in my DVD-R. See, if I had it my way, I wouldn't have cable. I just got sick of spending all day Friday catching up on my shows from the night before. In Birmingham, the price of cable with BrightHouse isn't so bad. I even splurged on the DVR with them :) In Auburn, though, Charter is through the roof. And the quality sucks. AND I HAVE to get digital cable so I can get my "A Different World" and, you won't believe this, the CW, which is how I watch "90210." Once I get used to my DVD-Rs (I have two so far and might need to get one more), I should be set for Thursday nights.
Why might I need three DVD-Rs for Thursday nights you wonder? "Grey's Anatomy," "The Office," and "Bones." "Bones" won't come on until November, so we'll see how things go. "The Office" has James Spader, and that's the only reason I plan on watching. If I decide I still don't like the characters talking to me, I will gladly go without my Spader fix.
What bugs me is the lack of awesome programming.
I watch "Desperate Housewives" and I am not the least bit sad this will be its last season. "Brothers and Sisters," though? Ohmigosh I was devastated when I found out it was cancelled. I love that show! And I had no time to prepare myself the last few episodes, thinking how nice it was everything just worked out. Devastated, y'all.
Speaking of cancelled series ... I wouldn't even be bothering with "The Office" if "Boston Legal" hadn't been cancelled in the first place. That show is how I made it through the week. Whatever day it came on.
And let's go way back to 2005 and that show with Geena Davis ... "Commander in Chief." Loved it! Okay, as a political science major, I couldn't stand the whole major crisis gets resolved in one hour, yet the backstabbing goes on for the whole season crap. I loved that an INDEPENDANT became President. I guess the show was a little too much of a threat to the Democrats and Republicans that the show had to be pulled. God forbid our people have a choice besides a Democrat or Republican for President.
Because it's not very nice to complain about the way things are and not offer a solution, let me say this: since all these old shows and movies are being re-made, can we bring back "A Different World?" Only, I want Jasmine Guy and Kadeem Hardison reprising their roles.
To sum it up, I will be watching "Desperate Houswives," "90210," "Grey's Anatomy," "The Office," and "Bones" this year. Assuming my shows make it, next year I will be down to probably two shows. Not to be negative, I just don't see "The Office" working out with me. (Sorry, James. I still heart you.)
Any suggestions to add to my schedule?
